County general plan group discusses business sustainability, diversity

Members of the Grand County General Plan Update Working Group tentatively agreed this week on language for goals and strategies to support business sustainability and diversity, to facilitate business development, and to support development of an expanded electric power distribution system. The working group will continue to refine goals and strategies into a comprehensive plan during future meetings scheduled every two weeks between now and Nov. 11. That plan will guide preparation of a future land use plan, said Gabe Preston of RPI Consulting, the contractor hired by Grand County to complete the project. Dates and agendas for the meetings, along with reports and drafts of all documents are available on the planning and engineering section of the Grand County website, www.grandcountyutah.net.
